Cashiers Showhouse: Reflections

Tuesday, September 06, 2011

The Cashiers Showhouse is always full of eye candy, but when you get to attend with
a bunch of design bloggers, well, every detail is more appreciated and more enjoyed!
Here's another picture of all of us design appreciators whowere in attendance. {By the way...these girls all laughed at me for my (correct) pronunciation of Cashiers-- Caa-shurs--is the correct 'local' pronunciation, NOT Cash-eers}

And check out the silhouette of the legs on the half round table in the corner.

The Music Room on the End wing was added in 1971. It was a log cabin that was dismantled
and rebuilt with each beam numbered.
Before:

Tammy Connor of Birmingham, transformed this room into one of my favorite spaces.

I just love the idea of the hanging lanterns instead of table lamps!

And the painted floors....L.O.V.E.

{we had to go barefoot inside the house, please don't think that we also had toothpicks in
between our teeth and moonshine in our bags. These were the rules, peeps....just saying}

Outside of the music room was the most delightful Gallery of Dogs Room designed by
my buddy, Sally Johannessen of Dovetail Antiques. There were so many people admiring
this space that I don't have many pictures of it! There were personalized collars and sweet
canine paintings. Trust me, it beautifully displayed Sally's deep love
of man's best friend {she happens to have 7 best friends!}

The Library is the other original room in the cabin.
Before:

Lynn Monday of Monday's House of Design enveloped the space with cashmere
plaid curtains, as well as silk, cashmere, and velvet upholstery.

The Upstairs Getaway Before:

Skip Ryan of The Ryan Companies created such a sweet bedroom with canopied
twin beds draped in toile and a tiny sage check.

Outside of the Master Bedroom was the Lounging Porch designed by Francie HargroveInteriors.
When the house was originally built it was open-air and was referred to as the 'dog run'.
This space was a huge crowd favorite.

The furniture was slipcovered with the most lovely outdoor fabrics designed to withstand nature's elements.

The estate's outbuildings include a two-car carport, an upper barn, a lower barn, and a pond pavilion.
The pavilion is terraced with perennial gardens, a lake, dock, three ponds, and numerous walking trails.

Here is the front of the house looking up at the Front Porch.

The weather was perfect to sit out overlooking the pond for lunch. We left the Showhouse
and proceeded to shop all the wonderful stores Cashiers has to offer!
